the Clarion. Vol.61 No. 10 Bethel College 3900 Bethel Dr., St. Paul, MN 13 December 1985 ..— .,_ . — ~i Christmas magic rediscovered at Riverplace by Nancy Mundt Christmastime at River- place. It is a Courrier and Ives kind of scene, from the horse- drawn carriages to cobblestone streets to the ice skating rink, and bundled-up families making impermeable trains by clenched mittened hands. Inside of this popular shopping attraction is warmth and the lingering aroma of fresh- baked cookies. Riverplace is ornate with colored tiles, artwork, plants, a marble fountain, a glass elevator and a glass sky room. Now cheerily trimmed in the holiday spirit with red bows and pine, and Christmas music played throughout, who could ask for more in this merry atmosphere? Riverplace allows a Christmas shopper to have fun while finding the right gifts for the people on their lists. It's unique specialty shops offer practical and eccentric gifts. One stand features gold- dipped four-leaf clovers, leaves and shells. For someone who has everything—a large colorful sea shell with a rear gold design painted on it. The average item is priced at eight dollars, and includes a gold chain. In the Afton Toy Shop you will probably see a lot of kids playing with toys. And their parents playing with toys. And some grand-parents playing with toys. You probably won't find Barbie and Ken here or even a Cabbage Patch Kid. The toys here are unique, and not just for children. The employees are enthusiastic to show you how they work. The Minnesota Place carries everything from books on fish ing to Guindon apparel. For the person on your list who feels Bah Humbug about the cold and snow, this store carries the official "I Hate Winter Club" T- shirts and sweatshirts in pink and turquoise. The design shows snow falling on a lawn chair and beach. When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping. When the shopping gets tough, its time to eat lunch. Surrounding Lourdes Square in Riverplace are several fast food restaurants. Here white wrought iron tables and chairs surround a tiered fountain. Italian and Mexican food as well as sandwiches are available in the square. Tempting dessert stands include Boston A 15 foot snow sculpture of .Father Christmas is centered in Lourdes Square at Riverplace. Sculptor William Cole teaches at The Edina Art Center and The Anurag Art Studio in Eagan. The sculpture's arms are held openly welcoming shoppers into the Christmas spirit in Minneapolis. Carhart/photo Brownies, Fratelli ice cream, and Granny's Cookie Co. Wipe your mouth, it's time to move on. There's yet more to Riverplace during the holidays than shopping and eating. Mikal Winge, a handwriting analyst has set up his table at Riverplace. For fifteen dollars, (last year it was ten) he will tell you about your past, your personality, and will predict your future from a sample of your handwriting. Is he accurate? Pretty much, except when it comes to predicting the future (he was wrong at predicting my and two friends' futures). Is it worth it? Probably not, depending on how strong one's curiosity is. The third-floor, glass-enclosed sky room directly above the fountain in Lourdes Square overlooks the Minneapolis skyline and can be especially pretty to sit in at night. The New Years Eve at Riverplace celebration is worth considering when making plans for that night. Last year's firework display at midnight was fantastic. Standing above the fountain in the square, a penny in hand, is the perfect place to finalize resolutions and make a wish for the New Year. Only eleven shopping days until Christmas!! Auditions are tough, so prepare to "Amaze Me" by Sarah Cole The Bethel theatre arts department's production of "Amaze Me" offers a tantalizing taste of everything from' comedy to Shakespeare rolled into one. , ' "We want lo gel people to see our theatre department's talent and a lot of them don't know it's here. Talent hasn't diminished one iota since I'd been a theatre arts major back in the 70's. People would be surprised," said Director and Instructor in Theatre Arts Meg Zauner. The diverse song and dance review, similar lo the Broadway production of "A Chorus Line'" is a series of original audition scenes with improvised transitional scenes in between." "An audition experience is very universal and like an interview, speech, or play, or even a first date—it is something we can all relate to. Everyone has been in that sit uation when you have to put your best foot forward and impress someone," said Meg Zauner, Director and Instructor in Theater Arts. She said that in an audition, the performer has 'x' amount of minutes—a small amount of time to show the director as many talents as he or she has. "It is a risk-taking proposition. Life is a risk; trusting in God is a risk," said Zauner. "Amaze Me"'s traveling production creates an analogy between the aclor-director relationship and the God-Christian relationship. Like a relationship with Jesus Christ, the actor is dependent on the director but he or she has a free will, God wants to guide our lives according to His will, which is best for us in the long-run. "He's always there, but it's our choice." said Zauner. The director looks at the show as a whole while the actor only focuses on his or her part. The actor could do two of several self-defeating things. For example, he or she could be egocentric and try to take over the director's job, or he or she could say, 'I'm not going to work with him_unless he does what I want." "If the actor doesn't learn the lines, the director has nothing to work with," said Zauner. We as Christians can be carnal and decide to lead the Christian life on our own according to what we think is best for us. For example, we may think we should go into business when our God-given talents are in writing. "We as actors second-guess the director; we as Christians second-guess God," said Zauner. "Amaze Me" cont. p. 5 NSF aid in genetics research by Laura J. Tibstra Through the efforts of Bethel Assistant Professor of Biology C. Weldon Jones, the Bethel science deparment will benefit greatly. Professor Jones has much to be proud of, as his work brought two grants to Bethel, amounting to almost $140,000. The governmental grants came from the National Science Foundation to benefit Jones' study of the effect of hormones on cells. Jones said, "What I do, strangely enough, is study it in fruit flies." Fruit flies are important in ihis research, as the basic mechanisms in the flies and humans are very similar. With the insects, experiments are more diverse, and also more ethical. The study involves observing the changes that the steroid hormone causes on individual cells. The overall effect of steroids is already known. Jones said, however, that "What's not obvious is what's going on in there. A lot of my research goes into studying genes, and the changes in the genes of the cells." In the fruit fly (scientifically stated, the drosophila), the hormonal change brings the worm into the adult fly stage. The changes that make up this metamorphosis are similar to the changes in humans when steroids are injected'into the system. Jones' task is to isolate specific genes, using recombinant DNA technology. Once isolated, the hormone is combined with the gene and the change is observed. The actual results of Professor Jones' research serve mainly as a building block to further Jones cont. p. 6
